    Haven’t seen it thats why 🙂 Is it white?

    Shedfire.co.uk redirects to On-One! LOL didn’t Brant do something similar to Dialled bikes years ago? 🙂

    Just found it Mike. Nice drive-side chainstay plate going on…the middle arm is bent in and acts as a chainstay bridge. Sweet.

    Oh yeah 🙂
    Whoops.
    That was me doing that before though. I’ve changed it now (will take a while to propagate I imagine.

    Nice solution Brant. Whats with the Nuke Proof bars on your site? Nuke Proof…now theres a name from the early 90’s!

    Have you had a look at osbikes.com? Specifically the geometry with rigid forks? It should not work…but it does 🙂 I love mine!

    Lol! I see what you mean though.

    We’re carving a 67.5deg angle on there Mr Nutt.

    I designed them, Lynskey made them, Nukeproof are going to sell ’em.

    As for geometry, well, I’m definitely going slacker rather than steeper this year.

    You heard it here first; slack is the new steep 🙂

    Ti bars? Should not flex too much with that centre section. Who owns NP now? I guess its gone like “Onza”?

    Early test reports indeed say “stiff”. But 227g, lifetime guarantee and 710mm width. £200 though 🙂

    Who owns NP now?

    Come on now. Do your homework. It’s not hard.

    Well I’m at home so don’t have works resources to hand…plus I am leaving the bike trade in 4 weeks for a cushy desk job 🙂 Might get to ride my bike more! Hotlines?

    Hotlines distribute it, hence my question.

    I was guessing that someone bought the brand name and started badging stuff up and shipping it over.

    I could be wrong.

    God I am looking forward to a nice simple, non-machiavellian job in the civil service!

    [Thread hijack]

    Nevermind that young lad Brant, come over to my thread and tell me if the tic tac colour scheme ‘works’ or not? A kinda fashion thread. I need it to ‘work’ as my Summer season needs the Pikes back 😀

    It would seem so, I don’t click on half the threads I used to, to much repetition and misery, strangely considering i just said on ones are ugly I do like your ti one, in the photo thread looks like a good set up.

    so what have I missed.

    Frame? I like certainly. Price? I dislike almost certainly.

    Mr Richards has parted company with Planet X Bikes (owner of the On-One brand) and set up shedfire: a cosy little copmany in which he can design things for people etc etc. His “press release” is at the bottom of this page http://www.shedfire.com/

    Ditto. Assume that it’s a Ti frame?

    (And therefore gonna be outta my budget!)

    Steel and Aluminium versions coming soon too! Same geometry and detailing. Few tweaks here and there.

    For those of you who havent guessed, hotlines bought the rights to lotsof brand names and gets stuff with that brand name put on.

    Oh and Hotlines is “owned” by Chain reaction.

    that looks like a rather nice frame, far nicer than any on-one IMHO

    hotlines, ah hence the Intense connection. I always thought CRC must have bought them through a grey channel but it looks like a great way to dispose of older lines/odds and ends. The seat stay bridge is probably a nod towards the offspring of Todmorden/Hebden with their webbed-feet and hands 🙄

    Only bit I don’t like is the seatstay bridge.

    Yeah, that plate makes it look cheap. What’s wrong with a little tube?

    Some interesting little features, although can’t quite see the point of some. That chainstay bit looks very good for collecting soil samples, as does the seatstay plate.

    What’s with the little holes? Are they to screw guides in? Why not have them welded on?

    I preferred the DeKerf style wishbone.

    i imagine that most of the Qs about why things are different on the frame can be answered in one word – cost

    What’s wrong with a little tube?

    I just wanted a little bit of bracing/weld area increasing at the top of the stays, and have an aversion to throwback frame design features which only hang around because people think they’re needed.

    Some interesting little features, although can’t quite see the point of some.

    It’s essentially a double diamond frame. It’s not going to be terribly ground breaking, but I am pretty pleased with how it’s come out.

    That chainstay bit looks very good for collecting soil samples, as does the seatstay plate.

    We don’t have terribly bad mud up here, but to be honest, until I’ve checked it over I can’t be sure, but I can’t think of many bikes with bigger mud clearance.

    And when I look at the mud clearance between my front tyre and brake bridge on my Revelations, I wonder why I go overboard.

    What’s with the little holes? Are they to screw guides in? Why not have them welded on?

    That’s right. Well deduced. They’re not welded as it saves around $10 per cable guide to do it that way. Which adds up.

    I preferred the DeKerf style wishbone.

    The Ti456 continues, as far as I know, but as I didn’t even design (or redesign) that, and with it being such a part of the on-one character, I left it there. It’s also really expensive to make.
